Have you tried under disk management

Control Panel -> System and Security -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management

It should show up there and then right click the unallocated space and you should be able to allocate it and you should be up and running mate

:goodpost:This. Although I prefer the [WinKey]+[R] > diskmgmt.msc method.

And in 7 there this an even simpler method: just hit the start button and search for disk management.

You have to create a partition on it and format it to NTFS or FAT to be recognized by Windows.
Launch disk managemement and you can do it by following roachieuk's post.
